Work started Monday as The Dalles City and Wasco County Public Works crews work together to chip seal approximately nine miles of street surfaces within the Urban Growth Boundary. The immediate work sections will be signed the day before to request “no on-street parking” for the following day. Chip sealing will begin at about 6:30 a.m. each day and finish by 6:30 p.m. Flaggers and pilot vehicles will be present to help motorists navigate through the continually moving operation. Work began on Bret Clodfelter Way today and is progress to the west as far as Pomona and Emerson Streets by Wednesday. Work will continue to complete the project on Thursday. Meanwhile, Court Street between East 3rd and East 4th will be closed to thru traffic on Tuesday between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 4:00 pm. for installation of a new water service line in preparation to repave the street. Motorists are encouraged to use Union or Washington streets as alternate routes travelling North and South. The alley between East 3rd and East 4th will be open.
